Surrey Police Service is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a man accused of assaulting a teenage girl in the Whalley neighbourhood earlier this month.

Police say the incident happened at about 4:35 pm on February 6, when the youth was walking eastbound along 100 Avenue near 123A Street. Investigators report that a man approached her from behind and briefly wrapped his arms around her upper body. The girl was able to free herself, and the suspect ran southbound on 123A Street. She was not physically injured.

The suspect is described as an adult man, possibly White or Middle Eastern, standing about five feet 10 inches tall. He was last seen wearing black sweatpants, black and white shoes, a black hooded sweatshirt, and a black and grey plaid jacket. Police have released a photo in hopes that someone may recognize him.

Surrey Police are urging anyone who witnessed the incident or who can identify the suspect to come forward. Community safety remains a priority for officers, particularly in areas frequently used by students and families during after-school hours.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Surrey Police Service non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and reference file number 25-12536 (SP).
